Caucus and a Primary are different things, just a different voting method. To get the nomination you need 1991 delegates to vote for you at the DNC Convention. The DNC gives each state a set number of delegates based on population and other factors. Each state then holds a caucus or a primary to distribute the delegates to the candidate, Democrats divide up delegates proportionally. Each state also has their own rules for if independents and other party members can vote in the party primary. If your candidate drops out, they keep their delegates going into the convention. The nomination process has nothing to do with the general in November beyond picking the nomination.

That's child's play. Every four months Duke buys a dose of Spinraza from Biogen for $125,000. Duke then bill BCBSNC for $765,709.00 (procedure, evaluation, labs, documentation, and doctor fees billed separately) and receives $368,306.03. $243,306.03 profit for sending a fax requesting pre authorization from BCBSNC and another to Biogen ordering the drug, every four months, per SMA patient (#1 genetic killer of infants).

Orion could go to the ISS easily but SLS is stupid expensive ride to just low orbit and really overpowered. Originally Orion was supposed to go to the ISS on top of a Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (with a centaur upper stage) but it was found to be unsafe in abort scenarios (escape motors couldn't out run the SRB and the falling fire would torch Orion's chutes). Orion will likely only fly 3 times before Starship takes over lunar missions (or maybe Dragon to Gateway using Falcon Heavy).

The media's amplification of Buttigieg is really journalism malpractice. Unless he massively turns his numbers around with minorities, which is very unlikely, he's not a viable candidate. Every time the media fails to mention that, they are encouraging voters to unknowingly throw their vote away. This isn't ideology or opinion even, it's just a reality the media all know.
